(3) K-3 Ready-to-Read: Science of Fun Stuff series. Illustrated by Scott Burroughs. Four brief chapters present some basic science principles behind basketball, including how the laws of motion and gravity affect the game, the physics behind some of the Globetrotters' tricks, and the material composition of a basketball. This is high-interest trivia for hoops fans and emerging or struggling readers. A mix of color photographs and cartoony illustrations add appeal. Back matter includes world records, basketball jobs, and a quiz.
